Commercial smart control and automation services in Ireland
From lighting and heating to access control and energy management, our electricians install and configure a wide range of automated systems tailored to Irish commercial and public property needs.
Smart lighting control systems
Install programmable lighting systems that use sensors, timers or daylight detectors to manage indoor and outdoor lighting. Ideal for offices, corridors, meeting rooms, stairwells and car parks. Systems can include centralised panels or app-based control.
Occupancy sensors and timed lighting
PIR (Passive Infrared) and microwave sensors automatically switch lights on or off based on movement, helping reduce energy waste in intermittently used areas such as toilets, storerooms or classrooms.
Heating and HVAC automation
Install smart heating controls and thermostats that allow different zones to be managed independently. Perfect for schools, healthcare settings, and multi-tenant buildings. Electricians can integrate systems like Nest, Hive or BMS-ready controllers.
Blind and shutter automation
Electricians can wire and control motorised blinds or shutters based on daylight levels, occupancy, or scheduled timings. Ideal for reducing glare in offices or controlling solar gain in public buildings.
Smart power sockets and energy control
Install smart sockets and relays that allow appliances or displays to be scheduled, remotely disabled, or grouped under energy-saving rules. Common in retail, signage control, hospitality and education environments.
Building Management System (BMS) integration
For larger buildings, electricians can install and integrate automated systems into existing or planned BMS infrastructure, allowing centralised monitoring and control of lighting, ventilation, access and power systems.
Access control automation
Electricians can install automated access systems using fobs, swipe cards or biometric sensors, linked to doors, gates, lifts and internal security zones — with full scheduling and audit logs for compliance.
Remote control and app-based access
Enable property managers and staff to control systems remotely using mobile apps or cloud-based dashboards — ideal for multi-site organisations or properties without full-time on-site management.
